Question 1: Which 911s used the 4 piston calipers? All I found on pelican for calipers were very similar to the 914-4 calipers (weaksauce).
Question 2: What in the suspension needs to be changed to go to 911 brakes? In other words, are the control arms different, or just the spindles? I know I'll have to go to five lug, but I do know what all is necessary to do that.
Question 3: What size rims do I have to run to stuff say 911 sc or turbo brakes under them?
Question 4: Any other changes I would have to do to the brake system besides calipers and rotors? I'm already running a 19mm master cylinder.
Feel free to answer any or all. Thanks for any help.

Here's a couple of many options out there

4 piston 964 caliper kits

Rotor Cooling kit

I have early 70s 911 T struts, vented rotors with M calipers and a cooling kit. This setup works great for track events. Haven't found a need to upgrade past the M calipers. But the Big Blacks or Big Red setups are out there.
